I am nearing the point of laying down the 2k primer on my car, possibly this weekend. I'm prepping/painting the car under a pole barn. It's a structure that has a concrete floor, roof but no walls. Here in central FL the humidity is going to be high this weekend, 80%+, scattered showers throughout the day. Will this effect the paint? Should I wait until it's lower? If so, how low should it be?
